Eye Candy
This specimen of the extremely difficult to grow Begonia 'Midnight Sun' earned a much-deserved Best Of Show at one of the recent ABS conventions. It was most likely a Texas or California convention. Apologies to the grower and the photographer, because I didn't save the info. The striking foliage is fantastically variegated, with bright pink, pale pink, dark green and red coloration mixed throughout. Who needs flowers when the leaves are so colorful? The photo is from the wonderfully informative Yahoo group on Begonias.

I had noticed the absence of Begonias, but didn't want to nag :(
Oddly enough, I'm judging begonias at the Tropical Flower Show on Friday. I had forgotten that it was this week, so I must have subconsciously reminded myself with this post. They give us a fancy lunch. The weather is gorgeous now, too.
